@cindex Windows parallel ports

@noindent
AVRDUDE will accept 3 Windows parallel port names: lpt1, lpt2, or
lpt3. Each of these names corresponds to a fixed parallel port base
address:

@table @code
@item lpt1
0x378

@item lpt2
0x278

@item lpt3
0x3BC

@end table

On your desktop PC, lpt1 will be the most common choice. If you are
using a laptop, you might have to use lpt3 instead of lpt1. Select the
name of the port the corresponds to the base address of the parallel
port that you want.

If the parallel port can be accessed through a different
address, this address can be specified directly, using the common C
language notation (i. e., hexadecimal values are prefixed by @code{0x}).
AVRDUDE does not support parallel ports on Windows.

If you need to run AVRDUDE using programmer on a parallel port,
you will need to try one of the BSDs or Linux.
